Have had a good two weeks in Egypt. Weather has been atrocious. Have not been out of Long pants and long sleeves since leaving Arusha. No sun bathing on river boat. Did the donkeys!!! Was assured by the tour leader that a donkey would easily support me. They are bloody strong and took people bigger than me. We all did look very silly on them. Ridden donkey and camel. Been to valley of kings and saw tutunkahman in the flesh. Had armed convoy down to Abu simbel and another armed convoy from Luxor to Hurghada. Security has been beefed up since the Palestinain thingy in the Giza. Took the tunnel under the Suez canal and have been back in Cairo for the past 2 days. Definietly ready to move on but have seen some amazing sights. Bought some more shit, don't know how many pashminas I can wear in 34 degree heat in Thailand!!!
Don and I are doing great, occasionally we feel a bit off colour and I especially want to vomit most mornings - I am not pregnant but the malaria pills are having a bit of a reaction with me, if I eat any bread product I get bad intigestion. Just about ready to chuck them in but will see how I go.
We are looking forward to Thailand and good food!!
Thanks to all the blog replys, they are really valued and I will respond to each below. Can't access my eamil here so can't email you all personally.
Sue and Michelle: Well done for Sue and Onny to reply to us it was really great to get a message from you and I totally understand that you have to get another dog (not). REally keen to come out to see him and the rest of your tribe of course. Now the perfume. Michelle should be no problem, but Michelle gave me the message that Sue was going to find one she wanted. Please do that. The issue I have with getting Amarige is that I am sure I have that at home - Sue gave it to us becuase she got it from someone else duty free and found it too strong. Sue - please confirm exactly what you want. Like I said, I think I have it at home because you didn't like it but I could have the name wrong. Sounds like Michelle and Kingsley need another holiday with all the renovations. Don no doubt can help out when he gets home. He did suggest that Michelle was quite good witha paint brush and could stain the deck!!!
Karen: Thanks for keeping up with the replies, sounds like you have had a great break away from work and no doubt starting to get back into the swing of things. Because I can't access email and am starting to think of work, could you please reply to me with my timetable for Thursday only. Thanks
Trudy: Thanks for telling me it was 50 degrees at the batch. We climbed Mt sinau and it was in the negatives!!
Will keep you posted with more news when we get to Tahiland. Laving 7.pm tonight and get in to Changmai at 3pm tomorrow but only 9 hours flying time and 3 hrs at Dubhai.

Thursday is HODs/HOFs/HOSs only plus new teacher orientation.
Or do you mean next Thursday? - Bruce said you are due next week. If so will look tomorrow and let you have it.
What a performance about the perfume - you must love these people a whole heap!
Am a bit grumpy cos the office moving is slow, dirty and tedious, and Bruce, lucky ***, does not have to move. AND he bought me a class of computers with no speakers!
Looking forward to catching up in person.
Pleased to hear from you guys. Had been checking daily esp since there seems to be some unrest over that part of the world - is that of your doing? I always did think you were capable of starting WW3!
Took a day off work today (YEP- you read it correct!!!) Had planned to go to golf with a mate of mine but wouldnt you believe it it b.. drizzled most of the day or at least until we called the golf off. never mind - enjoyed the day pottering.
Have been baking recently - muffins are my baking of choice and tonight it was orange muffins which incidentally taste jolly good. B says that 2008 must be the 'year of the muffin'. Scary huh?
Work is crazy at the mo - working both days this weekend, up to Auck next, then working the next 2 Suns and the folling Sat. Looking forward to the beginning of March!! B is getting back into it after Xmas but still manages to take the odd extra day off.
Better dash - catch you when you get back. T&B

Mmm. Period one off will mean you might be over the hangover for class period 2.
Does me having Thai last night tell you how jealous I am that you are in Thailand? The only thing consoling me at the moment is the knowledge that you are already over the airport weight restrictions and that you can't shop! Ask to get an allowance with the carrier company as Don is somewhat lighter than the average...on no, hang on. You will balance that equation out so it looks like you are pretty much fucked.
Have talked to Sue about the Amarige thing. We are a tad confused. I think I gave you that from my own stores, but it may be that there was one from Sue who seems to remember that I got one off her to give to you. You definitely do have an Amarige and I hate it. Sue will look into it and let you know. Soon. She's not too concerned if she doesn't get one of any kind, but will let you know.
Back at school for two weeks now. Kids on timetable tomorrow. Mmmm. I have a chest infection already. Doesn't bode well.
No news from Amanda, but no news is good news. Hope you are having the time of your lives.
Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Should I admit I have missed Tyson more than you??

Michelle and Kingsley
